Segmental Durations of Speech
(Turku Centre for Computer Science, 2010-01-29)
This dissertation considers the segmental durations of speech from the viewpoint of speech technology, especially speech synthesis. The idea is that better models of segmental durations lead to higher naturalness and better ...
Novel CO2 Regulated Proteins in Synechocystis PCC 6803
(Turun yliopistoAnnales Universitatis Turkuensis A I 434, 2011-12-16)
The large biodiversity of cyanobacteria together with the increasing genomics and proteomics metadata provide novel information for finding new commercially valuable metabolites. With the advent of global warming, there ...
Determinants of Polylepis (Rosaceae) Forest Distribution and Treeline Formation in the High Andes
(Turun yliopistoAnnales Universitatis Turkuensis A II 288, 2014-05-23)
High elevation treelines are formed under common temperature conditions worldwide, but the functional mechanisms that ultimately constrain tree growth are poorly known. In addition to environmental constraints, the ...
Evolutionary Ecology of Mountain Birch in Subarctic Stress Gradients: Interplay of Biotic and Abiotic Factors in Plant-Plant Interactions and Evolutionary Processes
(Turun yliopistoAnnales Universitatis Turkuensis A II 233, 2009-02-28)
In nature, variation for example in herbivory, wind exposure, moisture and pollution impact often creates variation in physiological stress and plant productivity. This variation is seldom clear-cut, but rather results in ...
Evolutionary History and Taxonomy of Neotropical Marattioid Ferns: Studies of an Ancient Lineage of Plants
(Turun yliopistoAnnales Universitatis Turkuensis AII 216, 2007-11-24)
Structural complexity and social cohesion in gregarious animals: from conflict to cooperation
(Turun yliopistoAnnales Universitatis Turkuensis A II 327, 2016-10-28)
A social lifestyle is abundant in nature. The social interactions between animals form the basis for complex, highly dynamic structures and may determine group-level processes such as group cohesion. Social behavior is ...
Defects in Persistent Luminescence Materials
(Turun yliopistoAnnales Universitatis Turkuensis A I 424, 2011-09-09)
Persistent luminescence materials can store energy from solar radiation or artificial lighting and release it over a period of several hours without a continuous excitation source. These materials are widely used to improve ...
The Sensitivity of Annually Laminated Lake Sediments in Central and Eastern Finland to the Late Holocene Climate
(Turun yliopistoAnnales Universitatis Turkuensis A II 331, 2017-06-12)
This dissertation discusses sedimentary varve formation and Late Holocene paleoenvironmental and climatic variation. Varved sediment records from five lakes in central and eastern Finland were studied. ...
Nanoparticle Labels in Bioaffinity Assays
(Turun yliopistoAnnales Universitatis Turkuensis A I 390, 2009-02-27)
Nanoparticles offer adjustable and expandable reactive surface area compared to the more traditional solid phase forms utilized in bioaffinity assays due to the high surface to-volume ratio. The versatility of nanoparticles ...
Design and production of protein nanostructures for biomolecular detection
(Turun yliopistoAnnales Universitatis Turkuensis A I 393, 2009-05-15)
Particulate nanostructures are increasingly used for analytical purposes. Such particles are often generated by chemical synthesis from non-renewable raw materials. Generation of uniform nanoscale particles is challenging ...
